In another message, Peterson wrote: “Pleas [sic] tell her it was the worst decision of my life and I know it was and idk where my brain was but that I somehow fell in love with you briefly and idk why and I’ll never be the same person because of it.”

She later asked the teen if she should speak to his mother in a last-ditch effort to prevent the police from getting involved.

Peterson later begged him to “delete everything” in reference to the messages and photos.

Peterson was arrested by deputies in Volusia County, Florida in February after she had sex with him in her home and her car.

Peterson pleaded guilty on Tuesday as part of a plea deal to lewd or lascivious battery sex act with a child and transmission of harmful material to minors by electronic means, according reports by the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
